Luke - you're suggesting that Greg go with singles in place of the trebles for his poppers when he upgrades the hooks? I've been experimenting myself for some time with the singles (see specific thread on this) but still not 100% convinced. I'm pretty sure they hold better but I still think the hookup rate is lower.
You're experimenting with a 50/50 combination? I haven't thought of that but it makes some sense! Would you run the treble off the back of on the middle?
Luke - how did you find the big Billy in how it swam? I am struggling to use it where it doesn't break the surface.Should I use two big recorders? I do like the look of this lure as i think it is big enough to attract a 70kg GT ;D

That Mega Pop is a seriously angry looking lure. If I remember correctly, they're something like 200grams, aren't they? With the hooks you've got on, that beastie has got to be something like 230grams!!! You'd be $#!@# after about a dozen casts with that thing - and to make things worse, that's a pencil popper too so you need to work it pretty fast.
Mmmmm..... 200 grams + working fast :o
I'd struggle working a stickbait that big!!
